Great! This has been quite dead for years...

Debian doc changes should say "see ticket #2"

Github Hosted Fork

Joey Smith — Sat, 25 Aug 2018 19:54:01 -0000

I have forked this project at https://github.com/tml/bbe - there you will find I have merged the doc changes submitted by Debian (see ticket ) as well as added an (undocumented as of yet) K mode which inverts the logic of D, keeping the specified block and deleting others - currently only tested when K is the sole mode used.

#1 Add option --in-place like in GNU sed

It would also be very great if bbe could (optionally) perform block changes directly in source file, without creating temporary file first. At least for changes, which doesn't increase block's size.

strange off_t type with mingw compilation

pif — Thu, 15 Oct 2015 16:24:30 -0000

I tried to compile the code with mingw to obtain a version runnable under windows without cygwin.
from a cygwin console, with mingw64-i686-gcc-core package installed, I ran
./configure CC=/usr/bin/i686-w64-mingw32-gcc.exe
Compilation works fine, and resulting exe is ok under Windows XP, and Seven, but under Windows 2000, "r" commands do nothing.
After some tests, it seems off_t type is weirdly defined thus in bbe.h line 52, I removed #ifdef and force define to be :

#define off_t long int

Seems enough at least for the small usage i'm concerned with but i suppose it's not the better way to fix this issue

Tested with i686-w64-mingw32-gcc (GCC) 4.9.2

From: "Trent Buck" <trentbuck@gmail.com>
Subject: --in-place switch
Date: Sun, 08 Jul 2007 04:00:16 +1000
Package: bbe
Version: 0.1.9-1
Severity: wishlist

GNU sed has the immensely useful --in-place switch:

sed -i -e x y

is roughly equivalent to

sed -e x y >y~ &&
mv y~ y

It would be convenient if bbe(1) had the same functionality.
